3 consecutive hands from last night's nlh'em tourney- total prize money £6350.
Hand 1
Lose most of my chips QQ v AA being teased by flush draw. Left with enough chips for big blind only.
Hand 2
5 callers. Flop AAJ. All fold to small blind, who bets out, and everyone else folds. He flips over J rag. Not having looked I flip over 68os. TOAST. But the Poker Gods are in control. Turn is A, river is J. Split pot.
Hand 3
In small blind for 400 chips, leaving me 1500. Dealt 35os. 4 callers so I call also[very loose].
Flop is 952 with 2 hearts. Naturally I move all-in[ the poker Gods are with me after all.] Big blind calls, everyone else folds. He turns over 35os, including
